How can I extract and save a tune that is sent to me as background in an
email ?
Poul

Hi Poul,

If the sound is embedded set the sending format to plain text. Embedded
sound files will appear as attachments which can be opened or saved when
Forward is clicked (No need to send, close the message when done). It may be
necessary to set OE not to reply in the sending format, especially if you
choose Reply instead of forward.

Tools | Options | Send tab

Much less likely is a pointer to a sound file on the Web. The path to a file
for this type of sound can be found in the message properties. The path
could then be entered in the Start, Run box, opened then saved, or another
method could be used to access the file. A message sound file might also be
found by searching Windows (limit this to files changed in the last one
day -- *.mid or *.wav) where the file would be in a temporary folder. This
latter method is more interesting than practical.

Click forward, view, source edit, source tab at bottom, format, plain text,
then File save attachment.

Easy as pie!
